WXDU, as a member of the Duke University Union, exists to inform, educate, and entertain the students of Duke University and the surrounding community of Durham through quality progressive alternative radio programming. WXDU seeks to give its staff the freedom to pursue their personal aesthetic within a collaborative framework. WXDU aims to provide listeners with an alternative viewpoint free from commercial interests. WXDU resolves to remain a laboratory where all members are free to grow and learn from their experiences.
You can tune in to WXDU at 88.7 FM. The station is located in the Rubenstein Arts Center on Duke University Campus, but the transmitter and tower are out in the Duke Forest closer to Hillsborough. You can also listen to WXDU programming by clicking on the Radio Widget on our Home Page.
Sure! Call in your requests at 919-684-8870.
We’ll be happy to assist in raising awareness of events and issues for your organization. Keep in mind that we are a non-commercial educational radio station, so we can’t advertise, but we can definitely give information about events and issues that benefit our community. Please email psa@wxdu.org with all your information. You can also mail us information about your group/event. Send it via snail mail to WXDU PSA Director, PO Box 90689, Durham, NC 27708. Be sure to include dates, times, locations, event descriptions, contact information, and any other relevant material. Please allow some time for us to get your PSA up on the air.

Send us your music!
Mail it to us at WXDU Music Director, PO Box 90689, Durham NC 27708. Once we receive your music our Music Staff will listen to your record and if we like it, we’ll play it. Please feel free to include info with your music submission (i.e. track lists, album artwork, etc), but don’t worry about sending a press kit. If you are touring, let us know well in advance, so we can try to help you out.
You can call up the DJ on the air and ask them for the details. The number is 919-684-8870. If that DJ is no longer on the air, you can email our Public Service Announcement Director.
Training groups for new DJs are formed once a year in the Fall. Training takes about 4 weeks. You do not need any experience to train– just a love of music! If you’d like to be included in our next training group, contact our training director at training@wxdu.org
We’re always looking for volunteers to pitch in here at WXDU. Becoming a DJ is just one way to get involved. If you are interested in learning more about music and also helping us select the music that goes on the air, then you might want to come join Music Staff. They meet at the station every Sunday at 7pm. You can contact our Music Directors at music@wxdu.org. If you are interested in promotions, station operations, or news/talk programming you can join our committee meeting’s every Monday at 6:30pm at the station. If you’re not sure where you might fit in, just email our General Manager at gm@wxdu.org, and they’ll be happy to talk with you.
We occasionally host live bands for performances or interviews at the station. You can contact our Music Directors or our Promotions Director for more information.
WXDU DJ’s like to get out into campus and the community. While we can’t fulfill every request, with enough advanced planning, WXDU can often help out. Contact the Promotions Director with information about your event.
